World Senior Pairs Championship

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The World Senior Pairs Championship is one of the competitions held as part of the World Bridge Championships. This Pairs competition was initiated in 1990 and is held every four years. Prior to 2005 both members of each pair had to be at least 55 years of age. The WBF has decided that, as from 2005, the min­i­mum age for a player to be recognized as Senior will be increasing one year per year, until it reaches 60 years in 2009.[1] The decision ensures that 55-years olds who par­tic­i­pated in a senior event in 2003 will never become ex-Seniors.
